New N95 V30 Firmware Rumors

Hi,

Can someone confirm if this rumor is real or not?

Some features of the V30 N95 Firmware:
- Full NGI
- Video content
- Maps 2.0
- Kastor UI
- Share online 3.0 with Ovi
- Nokia search with Google plug in
- Changes to music Shop and player
- Automatic screen Rotation
- Download 3.1

Personnaly, I think that these features are feasible except the Kastor UI.

Check out a demo of the Kastor UI:

Re: New N95 V30 Firmware Rumors

Wow, looks too good to be true, Kastor UI? Sounds interesting, it's like eye candy UI. It needs hardware accelerator, which N95 and N82 have. Anyway let's hope this rumor is true.

Probably not true!!!
Google N95 V30 only produces "mysterious_sami's" reference, and he started this post.

Who works for Kastor I wonder??

Just my guess!!

Re: New N95 V30 Firmware Rumors

Hahaha, nice try 14theroad :smileyvery-happy:

But I found it in some Symbian forums such as:
http://www.symbian-freak.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=234000

I think this already exists with the Sony Ericson running with Symbian UIQ. (http://www.oresundit.com/composite-1994.htm)

The articles mention that this will be for Juin 2008.

Hope it's true.

Re: New N95 V30 Firmware Rumors

If this turns out to be true, which i hope it is, then it would secure the N95 in the market place for some time to come.! Its already won awards, and has fare exceeded many expectations.

Here's hoping!

Re: New N95 V30 Firmware Rumors

It is a really big call...

I guess it would make sense for Nokia to keep their flagship models up to date with the competition...

Re: New N95 V30 Firmware Rumors

I highly doubt it, though I would really love to see this kastor UI on my N95.
Well, nevertheless we'll have propably another option - android. Looking forward to it.

Lets Face It Guys. If Nokia really do have their eye on this. Especilly the Posh new UI. Theyre not going to use t on existing customers. They will use it on new phones, to get people to either upgrade, or switch to nokia.

Have anyone seen the android video?
If there will not be a new firmware we will easily switch (if you would like to). Android uses linux kernel, so it shouldn't be a problem porting it to other smartphones, plus it is more developer friendly (symbian signing hell anyone?).

Re: New N95 V30 Firmware Rumors

i think it will be possible no doubt. To get KASTOR UI effects on N95 is not a big deal becuase it is small files so update file will be just a little bit bigger on NSU.

apparently N95 and N82 are going to get these KASTOR UI effects in there next fimrware update. both n95 n n82 are going to get v30.xxx firmware
